Weight Loss: Would You Like Your Annoying Excess Pounds to Disappear Faster? Keep a Food Journal

Naturally, we’re all impatient to have those excess pounds quickly peel right off of us, right?
If you’re among the 66 percent of Americans who are overweight or obese, it can be especially frustrating when those extra pounds ever-so-slowly creep away, rather than speedily disappear.
Annoying, isn’t it, when you want a hot Hollywood beach body in time for summer?
Even worse, isn’t it especially irksome and perplexing when you’re doing everything right and yet you stay at the same darn weight no matter how well you eat and how much you exercise?
Wouldn’t it be cool if you knew one very simple trick — other than cutting back on sugar and refined carbs — to accelerate weight loss?
It’s simple: Keep a food journal!
In other words, watch yourself like a lab rat and track every single morsel that goes into your mouth.
Remember, that includes monitoring all drinks you mindlessly gulp and guzzle, too. (So you’ll be writing about that glass of wine or small glass of soda that you absolutely “need” when you’re wiped out at the end of a long day.)
But here’s the good news! If you track everything that goes into your mouth, you can have double the weight loss of your friends and family members who don’t write down their food intake. Cool, eh?

Obesity: All Americans May Become Obese by 2048? Absurd!

According to a frightening new study in the research journal Obesity , by 2048, all American adults may become overweight or obese.
A whopping 100 percent of us in the U.S. obese? What an absurd notion!
Despite the fact that the projections are based on national survey data, etc., I just don’t buy this outrageous idea. There’s just no way that all of us will allow ourselves to become fat!
Millions of us care way too much about being at optimal health, putting quality food into our bodies and getting or staying in shape to let ourselves fall prey to flab.
Just go to any gym and you’ll see the exercise-driven people, who would never let themselves become obese.
My workout buddies and any fitness enthusiast would simply scoff at this projection.
After all, every year, millions take drastic measures to peel off pounds — in particular, they buy diet products and diet books to get slim bodies. (In fact, I’m hoping that my upcoming book, The White-Out Diet(TM), will become a major bestseller. Soon, I’ll be asking you for your help to make this happen.)
What do you think of these nightmarish projections? Would you let yourself become obese?
